“When I feel conviction, I step back
and observe the evidence.
When I feel the call to assert my truth,
I acknowledge what purpose
this act is in service to.
I seek the center of conflicting truths for understanding
and cast out baseless assumptions,
programmed reactions, and defensive projections.
I choose balance beyond extremes
and have the courage to refine my beliefs
or bias with curiosity and respect for
the diversities of perspective.”
